This weekend I attend a wedding with friends. I've been practicing the sudden, head up, blank stare, "I think I'm full" line for the reception Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

And down a solid 40lbs! It doesn't seem real. The last time I weighed this amount I had starved myself and worked out 4x week for at least 1.5 hours. Only to gain it back. Unfortunately I had an ankle injury 5 days post op. Good news, 40lbs with ZERO work out haha. Next week I am cleared for all levels of weight training so that will change. My most difficult part is adjusting to portion size, and not drinking Water so soon after I eat. FYI: telling no one about surgery. My line is "hypnosis and acupuncture". Sell it baby!

Thanks for the comments. Don't need the judgements lol. Yes I know I'm supposed to wait bla bla bla. I am curious. Maybe after 6 months it'll be different. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm 5 weeks out. I decided to try some liquor. I wanted to see if it really is 5x more potent etc as I was told. It's not! Honestly nothing. If nothing else I have a higher resistance. . I've had 2 oz of gin, tequila, and bourbon at different times, nothing. Anyone else experience this? And I'm not mixing it with a lot of liquid. I even sipped the bourbon straight over the course of about 30 mins - nada. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Don't be shy with the pain meds! Haha. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sleeved 3/29. I've had filet mignon, Popeyes chicken, etc. Popeyes was too greasy. Filet was fine. Be sure to measure your food. I find that the filet (and Popeyes) tastes so good I tend to exceed portions. I'd stay away from sandwich meat. Lots of sodium. And a 2-3 oz filet is cheaper now anyway haha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

IMO no. It doesn't get better. It flat out sucks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm sure some other docs and nuts have differing opinions. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Fiber gummies from costco helped me Sent from my SM-N920T using the BariatricPal App I was told gummies were not allowed, ever again. Be careful.Just Fiber gummies?or all gummies? Sent from my SM-N920T using the BariatricPal App All things gummy! They take too long to digest etc. check with your doc.

Hypnosis and acupuncture people! That's my story and I'm sticking to it!!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

FYI, sleeved 29th, down 27 lbs total now. My 3rd week post op (now) is supposed to still be liquids. Mushies next week. I may have to start 2 days early haha. I need to chew! But can't complain. I never feel "hungry" just that slight feeling of "I'd like to eat" lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I hear ya! I have 14 days all liquid then ANOTHER 7 days of non clear liquid, which includes yogurt. I think my doc may be crazy 21 days liquid!!!

Thank you!!! And no kidding. That's the plan! My wife says she can't even begin to say it without laughing hahaha. In my life the only people who would ask are the same people who would yell "tidal wave" when I jumped in the pool last year... So SCREW THEM! They don't deserve the truth!!! I only told my mom, wife, and best friend. Boom! Love love love it!!! So awesome! And yes SCREW THEM!!! I can already tell you are going to do fantastic! When is your surgery date? Im so excited I can't! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Sleeved 3/29/16. One week ago tomorrow. liquid and Protein intake on target. Zero pain from surgery. I felt soooo good on Saturday that I helped coach my sons lacrosse team. Warning: 5 days on your butt followed by 3 hours on your feet results in a sprained ankle! No joke. It's the only thing keeping me from being 100% back to routine.

I'm flat out lying. Honestly. Here's my story. Hypnosis and a little acupuncture. . I'm dead serious. I can sell it. I told my office friends that I had a hiatal hernia repair (which is true) and the doc lectured me about losing weight. So I'm looking for a new approach since dieting never worked. Even found a local hypnosis center who does weight loss to sell it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Side sleepers. Grab an extra pillow and use it to support your stomach. Works great for me. Chest pain after swallowing. Smaller sips and lots of time in between. That pain is the air lock of liquid going in and no room for air to come out due to swelling. It will get better. I can now swallow almost as much as pre op. Today I stood/walked for 3 hours while helping to coach one of my kids lacrosse games. But now my ankle is sore haha. Sleeved in the 28th. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Sorry. 29th lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We are still swollen. Therefore the air sitting in our stomach etc has to go out when liquid goes in. This is exactly like home house plumbing. Imagine trying to empty a large jug of milk. Pop the top and it lurches out. Make a hole in the top for air to move through and it pours out faster and smoother. Same here. We must eat drink slow to allow for the air and liquid to pass each other in our swollen esophagus stomach etc. as the swelling goes down it gets easier every day. And WALK! sleeping and sitting all day is making recovery longer! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Go to Singapore. All moderately wealthy southeast Asians go to Singapore for any semi-serious medical procedures. Personal experience. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

28th also here. Better today. I can swallow now. Yesterday it was painful. I got my liquids today and most of my Protein. Just a bad headache from zero caffeine! Walking laps in the house. Stomach etc doesn't hurt until I walk awhile. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No way I can get all the liquids in. For me when I swallow I'm ok until I feel it hit my sleeve or intestines who knows which. But it's about half a second after I swallow. It's keeping me from drinking more. Even tiny sips feel the same just not as painful. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
